- Creator updates
- ---------------
-
- <2.00 (last version was 1.42)
-
- removed
-
- 2.00
-
- - This is a full rewrite. Most of the old functionality is still there, but
- there are a great number of drastic changes and major additions.
-
- 2.01
-
- - Bugfix : the ZeriRegister 1.01 module contained a bug that would corrupt
- the registration database on removing an entry. It has been replaced by
- version 1.02 which is bugfixed.
-
- 3.00
-
- - In addition to conversions to an equal or higher number of colours, Creator
- can now also convert to a lower number of colours, using very fast
- implementations of sophisticated colour quantization and dithering
- algorithms, of which the accuracy is user-selectable, subject to memory
- limitations.
- - StrongARM compatibility ensured. Only a minor change to the ZeriLocal
- module was needed.
-
- 3.20
-
- - Bugfix : there were problems with conversions to non-8:8:8 pixel types (all
- of them Sprite) resulting in wrong palettes and on some occasions hanging
- code. Fixed.
- - Added 'dithering' conversions to all non-8:8:8 pixel types and all 'fixed
- palette' pixel types. All input formats can now be converted to all
- available output formats without exceptions.
- - Sprite 8 bpp 4:4:4 format with fixed palette is now available as output
- format.
- - There is no more 'R/G/B scaling' option. Internally, the former
- 'Discontinuous' scaling is now used throughout, if needed.
- - Added option of limiting the number of output image palette colours.
- - Changes to JPEG format support :
- - The 'next' wimpslot is now restored after running the external JPEG
- conversion code.
- - Recompiled code with GCC. Reduced source code to bare minimum.
- - Added 'Float DCT' load option.
- - Added PNG format support, both read and write.
-
- 3.21
-
- - Bugfix : the ZeriBuffer 1.00 module contained a small bug. This would
- occasionally cause corrupt TIFF output. It has been replaced by version
- 1.01 which is bugfixed.
- - Bugfix : under RISC OS 3.5 onwards, claiming 'overkill' WimpSlots will
- eventually eat up RMA space (probably a RISC OS bug). This affected
- ZeriArea 1.00, which has been replaced by a bugfixed version 1.01.
